Migraine is a complex neurological disorder, which are believed to affect more women than men. Up to 12% of the population of women and most people will tell you that migraine is a headache, however, those who get migraines will probably tell you it's a little bit than just simply headache. I am just going to discuss just one type of phase in migraine today.

Pre Monetary phase- Can start up to 72 Hours before the actual headache and people will experience symptoms like fatigue, photophobia which is light sensitivity, irritability and sometimes depression. You can also notice you might yarn more, food cravings and even stiffness in some muscles especially in the neck.

I know you are asking yourselves what might be causing this phase and they believe it's an actual alteration in homeostasis and if we talk about homeostasis, or keeping the body in balance in equilibrium, you have to talk about the structure called hypothalamus, so the hypothalamus is in the central core of the brain which gets involved in regulating and releasing hormones, this is probably why women are a little bit but more affect with Migraines than men. Also it gets involved with cravings, Hunger mechanism and even body temperature. So you can be able to compare the symptoms of this phase in relation to what hypothalamus actually does. Migraines can also be caused by emotional stress, hormones, nkt eating, weather, sleep disturbances, neck pain, alcohol, lights, smoke, certain types of good exercise and it always always affect those people who have sensitive mental Triggers.
